anyone know what this sign means???

[orleans]

i saw it on a tombstone
]~[
and i can't figure it out. it's backwards brackets and a squiggly/wavy line between.
on the back of the headstone is a prayer to the "great spirit"

but what does that sign mean? it's not the sign for infinity--i know that at least.

can someone please help with this?

6. Nope. But if you Google "symbol ]~[" and look at "images" you see some awesome stuff.

Sorry I can't help.

The one below, for example, inscribed here inside a Star of David, means "Here lies..."
